Nothing that I can see in the logs that help, this being of the closest

Subject: Re: wireless connecting - network manager problem?
Yes network manager has improved, but I find now that I am asked for my
encyption password each time I log on (or is it reboot?) whereas on
8.04 it joined up to the wireless on login.
Anyone know how to get back the old behaviour?

Personally I found that connecting to wireless was alot more reliable
in ubuntu 8.10 :)

Could be deteriorating hardware. Try a USB wireless dongle and
disable the built-in wireless. See if the exact same issues persist
with the new hardware (everything else is the same).

Hi, over the last month or so I have experienced increasing
problems getting the wireless connection to connect. This is an
ubuntu 8.04 with gnome, network manager 0.6.6. Only changes have
been any updates via apt-get update/upgrade. Connections are to 2
separate wrt54gl routers
(home, work), set up essentially the same. I know they function
OK
based on other laptops connecting without issue.
Going back a month, connections would "just work" on logging on to
the gnome desktop. Then I would occasionally experience a problem
connecting, and manually intervene via network manager. 2 weeks
or so ago I began to be prompted for the passphrase and could then
successfully connect. Now I am often unable to connect at all, or
can connect after 2 or sometimes 3 or 4 times entering the
passphrase. Sometimes I'm having to resort to an ethernet cable
:-(
Turning on and off the wireless switch on the laptop, or disabling
then re-enabling wireless via network manager, or a reboot, or
resetting the router, have all been tried in an attempt to resolve
with any consistency, but generally it's random if it is
successful. Removing and recreating the passphrase entry in the
"Passwords and Encryption Keys" tool (where the password is usually
shown in what appears to be a hex format) hasn't helped.
I'm at a loss to explain what I am describing, so seeking any
suggestions on how to resolve this or where to look.
Cheers,
Roger
